All of the following statements are TRUE about tRNA EXCEPT
A) Amino acids are directly attached to the 3'-OH of the terminal adenosine of tRNA.
B) Charging of tRNAs requires prior activation of amino acids involving hydrolysis of ATP.
C) The three-dimensional structure of tRNA depends on extensive intrachain hydrogen bonding (base pairing).
D) The anticodon sequence base pairs directly with ribosomal RNA.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The anticodon sequence of tRNA base pairs directly with the mRNA codon, not with ribosomal RNA. Ribosomal RNA serves as a structural component in the ribosome, where it interacts with tRNA and mRNA during translation.
